Marzipan is a classic European sweet made from 2 ingredients - pure sugar and the finest almonds. Some say marzipan originated in Italy several centuries ago during a major drought, when the only substantial crop to survive was the almond crop. People found all kinds of ways to prepare almonds, and marzipan was one of their resourceful (and delicious!) creations.

Germans adopted this recipe and created the finest marzipan in Lubeck using the best Mediterranean almonds and sugar, and a very precise roasting temperature. This marzipan is made according to the original Lubecker method to create a sweet, pliable mixture shaped in the traditional shapes of apples and oranges. A perfect holiday treat.

The receiver thoroughly enjoyed the German Classic Gift Basket and the Fruit Marzipan. They are both highly recommended.

Marzipan

Soft and delicious … just like the fruit shaped marzipan our family has enjoyed during the holidays for generations. Kosher so hopefully made with nonGMO sugar.

no sweet almond taste

I ate the first one and wondered why it didn't have a taste to it, other than it was sweet. I ended up eating a few more and someone else ate one and there was absolutely no marzipan flavor in it. It must be old or went stale over time. This can happen if using artificial flavors. Nonetheless be sure to check the age of the boxes or test them before selling them.
